Divorcing in Belgium

Hello,

Everything is clearly defined on the Belgian official sites as well as on the site of the notaries.
- https://justice.belgium.be/fr/themes_et … es/divorce
- https://www.notaire.be/divorce-separati … en-general
However, since English is not officially recognized by Belgium, you will have to translate the information or have an officially recognized interpreter.

Here are European sites that can help you. But all official documents will only be in one of the three languages recognized by the Belgian state.

Hi,

In fact, you take the problem in the wrong way.

The Belgian state is content to officially enter the irremediable disunion between two married people. Whatever their nationalities and religions. After free to these people to transmit the information to the administration of the countries of origin.

The only parameters in which the Belgian state is uncompromising are the decisions concerning the well-being of children.

Now if you are married with a marriage contract with specific points of law, it will be the usual battle between lawyers. Only after the judge will rule.

Hi,so therefore we can divorce here in Belgium  without going back to our birth country or where where we got married. Is that what you are saying?...
Thanks
